THE EXTRAORDTNARY CHARGE OF BURGLARY,—A few days ago a young man, named Philip Selby Moss, who gave an address at Manchester, was charged at this court with burglariously breaking and entering a house in War• dour-street, he having entered the house by climbing up the street door and forcing himself through the fanlight. He told the persons in the house that he had come there for protection in consequence of being pursued by eeveral thieves. The prisoner's conduct was so singular that Mr Knox considered that no burglary was contemplated and that the young man's mind was affected. He therefore remanded the young man that his friends might be commu nicated with. Lord John Manners on Agriculture, This morning Mr Smith, a wholesale stationer, ac quainted with the family, attended, and stated that he had seen the young man at the House of Detention, and that he believed he was not in his right state of mind. Amongst other things he had told him that he had been pursued by 12 men, and that he had 10 sisters. Mr Knox said he had received a letter from Mr Alder man Heywood, of Manchester, who knew the family, and from inquiries that gentleman had made, he found that, having been refused admission at a late hoar by his sister to their house, he had left :he place, and nothing further was heard of him till the reports appeared in the papers. Mr Smith said one of the young man's sisters would attend and take him back with her if he was allo wed to go. Mr Knox said he should have nu objection to give him back to his friends, being under the impression the young man was not in his right state of mind. A gentleman said the young man had been subjected to fits, and once jumped front a high window, but that was two since which tim e th ere h a d been no recu r , rence to years ago, since The annual gathering of the Leicestershire and Waltham Agricultural Society took place yesterday at Market Harborough. The show was good and the attendance very large. Upwards of 600 ladies and gentleman sat down to dinner in a large pavi lion on the showgronnd. Lord John Manners, M.P., presided, and among the guests were Lora Berners, Viscount Ingestre, M.P., Lord Carzon, M.P., Mr. Packe, Mr Hartopp, M.P., Mr Hunt, M.P., General Gisborne, Mr R. Gough, Mr W. W. Tailby, Mr Spofforth, Mr Bennett, the Dean of Waterford, Mr Knox observed that the best thing that could be done would be to put the young man under medical treatment. When the young man was brought before him to-morrow, if his friends were in attendance, he would be given up. A SOLDIER CHARGED WITH WILFUL DAMAGE.—James Edward Smith, a private of the Grenadier Guards, was charged before Mr Knox with wilfully, while drunk, da maging two bell handles, the property of Mr Parker, of 21, Portland-street, Soho. Mrs Parker said that on the previous afternoon an oyster shell was thrown through an open window on to a landing of her house, and shortly after she heard violent knocking and ringing. She went down to the door, and found the prisoner violently ringing the bells, and making use of the most disgusting langusge. Damage was done to the bell handle to the amount of 69. Mrs Williams, residing in the same house proved seeing the prisoner hammering the bell handle with the buckle of his belt. Ho aecused her of having robbed him. The prisoner was very drunk. Sergeant Edwards, C 2—Saw the prisoner, who was very drunk, standing at the door of the house surrounded by a large crowd. The prisoner, who had his belt in his hand at the time, admitted breaking the bell handles, but said he would pay for them. The prisoner said he went down the mews at the side of the house and some water was thrown over him, and he only went to the house fir satisfaction when a piece of crust of bread was thrown in his face. The prisoner's sergeant gave him a fair character, but said he had been absentfive days. Mr Knox ordered him to pay the damag e , a fine of 10a,, or in default to be committed for 14 days. THAMES. SCANDALOUS ROBBBIIy OF A SAILOR,—Sarah Williams, who carried a child in ber arms, and Sarah Downey, two notorious thieves, who have often been in custody, were brought before Mr Paget charged with stealing a £lO Bank of England note, 30s. :n gold, and 17s. or 18 s . i n s il v er, from the person of Ilen.y Young, a very smart homeward seaman, who has been recently paid off. The prosecutor said he met with Williams yesterday evening, and went home with her to a house in Dawnshire street, Commercial-road. After being with her some time she was cuddling him up to fondly, and calling him her deer Jack, that he lnew she was then getting over him, as it was the way the girls got over chaps. Soon after that he found her taking the guard off his silver watch. Ho then began to suspect her, and missed ell his money. There was a £lO note in a piece of paper, his gold in a purse, and his silver loose. He left the house when he missed his money and thought he would go home. He met Williams again coming Out of a public house. She tried to get his watch again, but the guard was too strong. He gave her into custody, and Downey then interfered and tried to pull her away. In answer to questions by the magistrate, the sailor said he had never been robbed before; but he knew the ways of the girls, when they robbed a sailor they pretended to be very fond of him. He had a go)d deal of drink last night. He met Williams on Tuesday for the first time. He did not go home with her then, because he was not paid off. He was certain he had his money in his pockets when he went home with her. He fait her hands in his pocket. Williams hero said she never saw the sailor until he gave her into custody. - - - - - - - After the usual loyal and constitutional toasts bad been given and duly honoured, The't Health of the Memb?rs for the Counties of Lei :ester and Northampton" was given and warmly received. James Buckley, a /Ales constable, No. 140 H, said the priscners were given into custody by Young, who said that Downey fondled him, and threw her petticoats over his head when he went home with Williams. The woman calling herself S.rah Williams had given a false name and address. Her rearwima was Margaret Pease, or Pea. Young was recalled, and said he did not know whether Downey was in the house or not when he entered it with Williams, He then made some contradictory statements. Mr Paget could not rely on the sailor's evidence, and discharged the prisoneis. NARBE T S Day. The toast was acknowledged by Mr Pecke, Lord Curz3n, Mr Hartopp, and Mr Hunt. The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the toast of the day. After complimenting the company on the show, which, he observed, had never been excelled, the noble lord said—You will now expect me to take stock of the agricultural proceedings and operations during the past year. A good deal has been said of the ravages which the disease im ported in foreign cattle has made among our own beasts; but still, in spite of those ravages, I think I may say that, with the exception of the low price of wheat, produced to some degree, no doubt, by the abundant supply which was vouchsafed to us by the last year's harvest, speaking generally, the agricul• tural community has not had much reason to com plain. With reference to that low price of wheat, I think I am not wrong in asserting that the time has come when it behoves the farmer to consider deliberately and maturely whether for the future wheat ought to hold that primary place which it has hitherto held in his affections, and to say whe ther to a certain extent some other crop may not be introduced to supply the place of that which may in some degree be profitably diminished. (Hear, hear.) Now, in order to arrive at a just solution of that question, I think it absolutely essential for a moment to glance at the condition not only of English agriculture, but of English manufactures; and if in that wider glance we see reason to believe that a crop not hitherto cultivated to any appre ciable extent in England may profitably be substi tuted in some measure for that crop which during a series of years has in the opinion of many practical men failed to give a sufficient remuneration to the grower, I hope I may be excused if I venture to draw your attention to that not unimportant sub ject. (Hear.) Soon after the outbreak of the pre sent desolating American war I ventured at a large gathering in Leicester to call attention to the pro. bable increased demand which would arise for flax and woollen goods. With regard to wool, we are well aware of the enhanced price of that commo dity, and I think no English farmer—and certainly no Leicestershire farmer—requires to be reminded of the remuneration which he is receiving from a diligent cultivation of wool. Bat with respect to flax 1 fear that the question assumes a different cha racter. I rejoice, however, that during the last few months two members of this society have ventured on that experiment, and with your permission I will add a few words which I hope will induce others to follow their example. Within the last few months we have had an important Government official report upon this subject, and that report has been published by the Government for the edification and instruc tion of the people. In that report Mr. Baker ex presses his anxious desire that every English far mer will for the future grow no less than five acres of flax. Ido not presume to be so sanguine as Mr. Baker, but I venture to express an earnest hope that the soil will be found sufficiently favourable for that venture to the farmers of England, and that the farmers of Leicestershire will not shrink from trying that experiment. (Hear, hear.) I may be told that there is little soil in this county that is favourable to the growth of flax. I cannot set my opinion against that of any practical gentleman present, but I think, speaking generally, that some misapprehen sion exists on this subject of the soil. True un doubtedly it is that what is called a good dry loam, a strong subsoil, is the most favourable ground for the cultivation of flax; but, after all, the main point is to arrive at a-clean, dry, deep bed for the flax seed. I think I see a sufficient representation of agricul tural skill before me to know that other soils besides those foams can be very easily made available for that purpose. [A Voice—How will it pay P] I hear a gentleman inquire, " How will it pay ?" And that, after all, is the important question at issue —(hear) and the gentleman will find a full and ample answer in a little work which has recently been published by a practical farmer, who has for many years tried the experiment. Mr, Charley gives you a course of practical results, and shows that the lowest clear profit per acre is £3, and the highest £l5 10s, and that the mean profit is £9. (Hear, hear.) Ido not presume to ask what have been the mean proflis of wheat cultivation during the last six years in the cou.7trYt but I believe that if you can get a profit of £ 9 per acre it will not be an unprofitable mode of c ultivating, at any rate, a portion of your farms. (Hear.) But, it may be asked," Can you depend on the continuance tic the great demand which at present exits ?" On looking at the report of Mr. Baker I find that there is a very jreat demand for flax linen goods not only in the Unitee! Kingdom, but through out Europe ; that at the present moment the flax manufacturers in France ae s a working day and night—that the Irish linen manufacturers are cry ing out for more flax—that upwards cif 200,000 new spindles for flax machinery have been ordered at Leeds and Bradford during the last few elionths— and that there is among those conversant wi%:h the subject an apprehension of a flax famine. (11;ear, hear). I think you may rely upon it there is no feat of any present remunerative demand for linen goods, and I may say, further, although the Irish farmers have been lately so stirred up that they have added during the last year 64,000 acres to the cultivation of flax, upwards of one-half the raw material worked up in the United Kingdom comes from abroad, and that supply is estimated at not less than six millions of money. (Hear.) The six millions of money we ar e now sending to Arch an g el, to India, and good ness knows where, for the supply of that charming little plant which might be grown on our own soil to be afterwards worked by our own countrymen. (Hear, hear.) If there be any disposition in the Leicestershire agricultural community to make this as I think an easy and hopeful venture, I shall be proud and pleased t o offer a humble prize for the best sample of flax that can be shown at our next meeting. (Cheers.) H av i n g addressed myself to that topic which seemed to me to be most in ac cordance with the objects of this meeting, I w i l l now say a few words on the uneventful Session which has just closed. With the exception of the abortive attempt to legislate on, and if possible to prevent, the entrance of diseased cattle into our ports, I am not aware of any important measure that has received the sanction of her Majesty di rectly affecting the interests of agriculture. A measure, it is true, has received the Royal assent; but when four members of Parliament have ad dressed you without making any reference to it, I think I may be pardoned if I assume that it is n o t one that greatly sti rs or excites the agricultural mind. I allude to the Act which permits those wh o a re interested or engag ed in agriculture to malt barley for feeding cattle. (A laugh.) I heard the mention of that Act received with derisive cheers, and 1 confess I am not in the least surprised at such a reception. But a l t h o ugh the Act is a dead letter, yet indirectiv I think we may attribute a certain degree of importance to it. A movement took place d ur ing the autumn and winter in favour of the re peal or a great diminution of the malt tax. Bat before any proposition tending in that direction could be brought before Parliament, the Chancellor of the Exchequer feeling, as I suppose, the impos sibility of maintaining under a system of free trade a law which prohibited the producers of barley and the manufacturers of meat from dealing as they might think best with an article of agricultural produce, introduced the measure to which I have referred. When its burdensome and troublesome provisions were made known, I do not think there was a practical man in the country who believed that any good would came of it, and I am not sur prised that an agricultural assemblage attaches no MARK-LANE.

(Hear.) My belit ti iE. that if the discussion of that question is ,verses .ered in with moderation and temper, and if the into zeds of the great body of consumers are idevtifi td with those of the producers of barley and m muffiw turers of meat, the question may be pr,lsst Id in a future session to an eventful issue.

Speaking generally, I should say th at the partial collapse of that great industry which Ab - I pends entirely for its raw material on foreign E plies, the continued and remarkable advance of th ese manufacturing industries which draw their supp 1 ies of raw material either altogether or chiefly from t. own country or our own colonies have, in spite of the comparatively small imports of foreign cattle], all have combined to create in public opinion, botl) within and without the walls of Parliament, a fat greater appreciation of the enormous national importance of those homely old-fashioned opera.. tions to which you, as a society, are devoted. believe that the run of common sense has in that respect set in, and that there is not at the preeeni moment a manufacturing township in the north i which the transcendent importance of a good hay vest and of agricultural improvement is not full y and cheerfully recognised—(hear, hear)—and whe n we talk of agricultural improvements we do not i n this society mean only the application of fresh ski li and industry and capital to the soil, we do not mea only the increased return from a grateful soil which will follow that application of capital and industrj, but we mean the advancement in the social scale that great and deserving class, the tillers of the soi 1, whose virtues, whose skill, whose industry, sr d whose good conduct, this society recognizes and en deavours to encourage and promote. Animated, then, by the conviction that the promotion of agri culture subserves the best interests of all classes of the English community, and that these societies and these gatherings tend to promote that bene ficial result, I ask you to join me in drinking; "Prosperity and success to the Leicestershire and Waltham Agricultural Society." (Loud cheers.) Several other toasts were given, and duly honoured.

The prisoner Was identified as the person who had changed 1 the notes by two Manchester tradesmen, and, in spite of her denial, was found g uilt y by the jury. A. former con viction for pocket picking was proved against her, and sen tence was deferred until Tuesday morning, when Mr Baron Pigott rent her to prison fur 18 months' hard labour. Child Murder, Yesterday forenoon an inquest was held by Dr. Lankester at the Elephant and Castle, King's road, Camden-town, on the body of a male child, which had been registered as "henry Bowen," the off spring of a woman named " Mary Hartley," which was discovered dead up a chimney. The accused, who was in custody, was produced before the coroner's court by order of the Secretary of State for the Home Department. She is a fair, well looking woman, about 28 years of age, and appeared very weak and much affected during the proceedings. Eliza Taylor, a nurse in the lying-in ward of Clerken welt Workhouse, said sho knew the accused by the name of "Annie Bowen." She was ad mitted on the 16th July, and gave birth to a male child the same evening. She said it was her seventh child, and only one was alive. She discharged her self and left the workhouse shortly after 10 o'clock on Saturday morning last. The child was in good health at the time, and left with its mother. Eliza Scrowby, servant at the Harrison Arms, Harrison-street, Gray's-inn-road, said that on Satur day morning, about half-past 10, the accused came to the bar and asked for a glass of hot gin and water. 'fold her they had no hot water ready, and she said she would not, as she was tired, and she went into the parlour. Having boiled some water witness took the hot glass of gin and water to her. Hartley asked her to abut the door as she wanted to fasten her drawers and she did so. Noticed that Hartley hada paper parcel when she came in. About five minutes after having the gin and water accused came out with the glass in her hand and placed it on the counter and then went away. Witness went into the parlour and noticed soot on the hob, which she thought strange, having cleaned the stone about half-past nine. She pushed up the door at the top of the stove, and saw a parcel up the chimney. She pulled at it and the paper tore, and then she saw a white cloth, and on touching it, finding it wet and warm, was frightened and called the potman. Charles Hubbard, potman at the Harrison Arms, deposed to being called about 11 o'clock by previous witness, and to finding a parcel on the right side of the chimney. It was wet and warm. He called a man named Tolmer who was standing at the bar, and he pulled it out. Seeing it was a child, as its face was uncovered, he immediately went after the woman he had seen in the parlour, and on reaching Hunter-street gave her into custody. Henry Telmer, 53, Harrison-street, said—About 12 o'clock on Saturday he was in the Harrison Arms for change, and heard the two witnesses say there was a parcel up the parlour chimney. He went, and on putting his hand up the opening he found the parcel wedged tight in on the right side, and he got it out with difficulty. He then found it was the a body of a child, with the head and shoulders expose. It was warm, but appeared quite dead. Police-constable Fk. White, 33 E, said—About a quarter past 12 the witness Hubbard gave the accused into custody, saying she had put a baby up the chimney. Asked her if she had been at the Harrison Arms, and she said " Yes." Then asked Hubbard if the baby was dead, and Hartley said, " Yes, it is dead. lam sorry I have done it now. I wish I had taken it to the workhouse and had it buried." 'rook her -to the station, and when the charge was read over to her she said, " I did not kill it." She attempted to tear up some papers, and among the rest the registrar's certificate, which showed that the child was registered on the 20th July as "Henry Bowen." She tore up several letters, but the one produced, addressed to Mrs Jacobs, 11, Wellington-terrace, Wellington-road, St. John's wood," and stamped ready for posting, was saved. The Coroner said it was a most important letter, and read it to the jury. It was as follows " July 29, 1861. " Dear Jane,—l received your letter. and am very glad !o hear the child has gone. It's better off. lam also happy to tell you that mine is gone; so as I am empty handed I shalt come out to-morrow (Saturday), though I am not very well ; ,! - )ut if mine had lived I should have stayed in another week or two, for I don't believe I shall be able to walk. I shall be obliged to ride up by the Underground, so that it you are out 00 Sunday I hope you will call, and pray don't forget the gin, :or I am in a very delicate state of health at present ; and after living on the fat of the land in the work house for a fortnigi,t, I shall turn up toy nose at anything common. Tell Chart's I should have been exceedingly obliged for his kind of f er, only there is a family grave dug at Colney -hatch for my son.—Ss as I hope to see you soon. I shall close with my kindest love to you both, frcm yours truly, " A. BowEN." Catherine Prior identified this letter as one which she saw the accused write on Friday night last at Clerken well Workhouse, with the intention of post ing it in the morning when she went out. She t eard her read that part of it about the fat of the land, Sbe bad seen the deceased child, whioh was then alive and well. Me I. T. Paul, surgeon, was called to see deceased at the station-house. It was quite warm, and to all appearance just dead. It was about 14 days old, and was a well-nourished male child. On making a post-mortem examination he found under the scalp a considerable effusion of blood. There was an effusion of serum in the ventricles, and the chest and lungs were much congested. There was no sign or smell of poison. The cause of death was suffocation. By the Coroner—Examined the accused woman Hartley, who admitted she had given birth to a child, and said it took place in the grass at High gate on the Thursday week previous. She had a quantity of baby's clothing sewn on the inside of her petticoats. She attempted to destroy all papers and writing she had, but witness succeeded in se curing the pieces of the torn certificate, and also the letter which had been read. By the Jury—l have no doubt, from the evidence and my own observation, that the child was put up the chimney alive. The accused, Mary Hartley, having been eau• tioned by the coroner, made the following state ment :—From the time the chili was born he was troubled with windy spasms, and I have often called the attention of the nurse to it, as I was afraid it would choke. After leaving the wo.khouse on Sa turday morning I felt it breathing very hard and choking with the wind. Wheal got to the Harri son Arms it was halt past eleven, and I was there half an hour. The child was dead before it was p u t up the chimney. This c o ntradicte d to the statement The witness Taylor s all I have Ba y. that her attention had been called to the child hav ing the windy spasms. There being no further evidence, The Coroner addressed the jury, who, after a few minutes delation, returned verdict of " Wilful murder againstber Mary Hartley, " and the coroner at on made out his warrant for her committal to secwesate for trial. Th e accused was afterwards examined at the Clerkenwell Police-court, and thence also committed for trial on the charge. SECONI EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF -PAST 4 O'CLOCK, ARRIVAL OF THE FAIRY.

The Belfast Northern Whig reports a quarter* meeting of the town council, in which Mr Rea figures prominently, and is treated after the manner in which he was dealt with by the committees of the Houses of Parliament. Mr Rea had made long speeches upon the various subjects that had come before the council, and at about the middle of the business he discoursed upon the packing of the burgess roll, a question which, in the Mayor's opinion, had nothing whatever to do with the subject in hand. When the Mayor remonstrated, Mr Rea replied—" 1 tell you not to stifle debate, and if you do, I charge you with being one of the conspirators. (Clamour and confusion.) You will be the first man I will put in my informations." (Order, order.) Mr Rea frantically gesticulated, and waved his hand as if wishing to be heard—the Mayor standing, and the whole council room in disorder. Mr Rya shouted away, and concluded with the words--" Perjury and subor nation of perjury of the foulest description. The case of John Lytle and John Rea will last longer than the case of the Queen against Potts and others." Mr Rea then sat down, and Alderman Mullen got up. Mr Rea then rose again, and said, "1 have not done yet; but I will yield pro tempore to Mr Mullen." Mr Mullen was then pro ceeding to say, "After this extraordinary conduct," when Mr Rea called to the Mayor—" I charge you with being one of the conspirators that aided to procure the bill by fraud; and I charge you with a violation of your oath de liberately committed." The council chamber was then in confusion, and the public outside the bar were in ecstacies. Mr Rea declined to withdraw the expression and refused to apologise. " I repeat it," said he ; " and that you prosti tuted your office to it, and committed a fraud on the rate payers of Belfast." The Mayor rang the bell, and the two chief constables appeared in the room. The Mayor direct ad to have Mr Rea removed from the room. Chief-constable Green touched him upon the shoulder and told him to go out with him. "Touch me, and I will go ; you know by whose orders," said Mr Rea. He then walked out with the chief constable and was taken to an ante-room, where he was followed by a great number of people. When he had collected himself, he walked into the portion of the council room allotted to the public outside the bar, and, rushing through the people, he sprang over the barrier, his foot caught in the rail, and he fell full length on the floor. Chief constables Green and M'Kittric advanced to him, and, tak -1 ing him by the collar, commenced to remove him. He threw himself on the ground on his b ack, and caught the large 1 table by one hand and a chair by the other, determined to rebel every inch of the way to the door. The council table and the chair was taken from him, and ho was pulled along the ground by the neck and feet until the constables arrived with him at Mr M'Geagh's chair, which they all fell over. The two chief constables having got to their feet, pulled him out on his back, and delivered him to a posse of con stables in waiting to take charge of him. The sceee was the most exciting ever witnessed in the council room, and was a climax to all the outrageous pro ceedings which have taken place there during the last two years. When taken out, Mr Rea asked the chief constable by whoso order he had boon taken out the second time; he had done nothing, he said, deserving of expulsion by force, and the Mayor would rue it to the latest day of his life. The business of the council was proceeded with, and was quietly got through. At the conclusion of the business Mr Rea entered the council chamber and demanded and obtained from the Town Clerk copies of all the resolutions passed from the time he was so summarily rejected. He told the mayor that serious constquences would result from the proceedings of that day. The mayor shortly after left with Mr Preston, and was cheered by the crowd assembled in Police-square. When Mr Rea appeared he harangued the crowd for a few minutes, threatening all sorts of action for conspiracy. And thus one of the most extraordinary meetings ever held in the Town Hall terminated. EAST LONDON BANK.—(TIIIS DAY.) —The first general meeting of the shareholders of this bank was held to.day.

Some one, it is supposed, struck a match for the purpose of light ing a pipe or cigar, close to the balloon, and in an instant a flame some 12ft, high was found issuing from the valve. With great presence of mind the aeronaut covered up the aperture with a piece of canvass, and the flame was at once extinguished by the stoppage of the exit of gas into the air. Little damage was done to the balloon. The citizens of Dublin are most anxious that the Channel fleet, now on passage to Cork, should visit Dutlin Bay. The town commissioners of Kingstown and Daltey have sent memorials to the Admiralty on the subject. There is no doubt but that such visits are very useful in manning the navy, as they excite a desire for the service among the young men, while entailing no extra expense on the GOVZHIM,Lt.
